Send your votes to us via PM (to THE BIG TOURNAMENT'S profile) or Scorewiz
. If you send your votes via scorewiz, you'll do it at your own risk. Considering all what has been said about many of the mistakes that happen when votes are cast this way, we strongly advise you to send us your votes via PM.

DDL is set to Tuesday, 02/12/2014-

Important: Only members who have voted at least once in the previous rounds can cast their votes in this final.


ESC 2014 is over and we'll have a lot of time to kill. So it's time to start this year's Big Tournament edition where all entries from 1956 - 2014 will compete for your vote, hoping to move on from The Preliminary Round, to the Quarter Finals, Semi Finals and the Big Final Round.

How this is going to work:

Every round a group of 25 - 27 songs will compete and you can vote on them using the ESC Point system (12,10, 8 -1 points). At the end of each voting round the Top 10 from each Group will move on to the Quarter Finals. It's that simple.
PM your votes to THE BIG TOURNAMENT
profile or cast your votes using the SCOREWIZ link.
All songs were randomly selected so it's not uncommon to see songs from the same year, several songs from the same country or even several winners in the same group. Some groups may be considered stronger than others but it's all the luck of the draw. Remember to cast your votes quickly as the voting windows are short. For your convenience, YT clips will be added in case you are not familiar with all songs.


8 Simple Rules:




  1. Please listen to all songs before sending us your votes. For your convenience, we added YouTube links so all you have to do is click on it and enjoy the music.
  2. Only one vote per user. If we discover that you have two separate accounts for the sake of doubling your votes you will be disqualified.
  3. We check every vote and any invalid or incomplete votes will result in disqualification
  4. The Mod team is doing their best to make this tournament a fun experience for everyone. However criticizing the team in the thread is not allowed.
  5. You don’t have to vote every round and we understand that real life takes priority. Please do not complain if your votes were not counted because you voted past the deadline.
  6. It is okay to share some of your votes (e.g. your 12 points or your random top 5) but it is NOT okay to post your full votes.
  7. The purpose of this tournament is to appreciate and celebrate all songs starting with 1956 all the way to 2014. If you’re a person who only enjoys music from a particular decade only, this may not be the right game for you. It affects the outcome for those who want to give all songs a fair chance.
  8. You must be an ESCUNITED member to participate.



Stay tuned and have fun! xcheer

Cannot wait! :D xcheer

I'm currently helping the BT crew finding high quality links (or as high quality as possible at least) for old entries, since those aren't always what show up at the top of the search. :)

The Big Tournament tends to start out in the current year's forum, since it's still the main active one for at least a few months after ESC. When the next year's section gets bumped up to the top of the main forum page, then the Big Tournament is usually moved along with it. :)

I'm already listening and rating old songs, and also adding some key words to remember all the songs, so that I will remember most of them for the game :lol:

Welcome to all new members who want to join in on the game! :D xcheer

Please make sure you understand the following, though: :D

The purpose of this tournament is to appreciate and celebrate all songs starting with 1956 all the way to 2014. If you’re a person who only enjoys music from a particular decade only, this may not be the right game for you. It affects the outcome for those who want to give all songs a fair chance.

Meaning, if you only care about oldies, or if you only care about songs from the 2000s-2010s, this isn't the game for you.

Also, please take the time to listen to all entries in the group, especially the ones you haven't heard before. I've discovered SO many new favorites from each and every decade from playing this game the past few years, and have often ended up giving more points to new-found favorites, than to songs I've loved for years.
